Computer Aided Design Technology–Mechanical Design Option (AAS)

The Computer Aided Design Technology program offers students the opportunity to learn skills required by today's industries. Students can pursue a two-semester intermediate technical certificate, a four-semester advanced technical certificate, and a four-semester associate of applied science degree. Portions of the associate of applied science degree options may transfer to various four-year institutions. Students entering the A.A.S. degree program should be prepared to complete A.A.S. math and English requirements during the first year of the program. Placement in specific English and math courses is determined by the college placement assessments.

Current industry professionals may enroll in a single course on a space available basis and with instructor permission.

In addition to the program outcomes, students will meet the following North Idaho College General Education (GEM) Requirements: Written and Oral Communication; Mathematical Ways of Knowing; Social and Behavioral Ways of Knowing; and an additional program-designated or selected course from any of the GEM requirements.
